25 Non-Cheesy Poses for your Engagement Shoot

Anyone who knows me well, (Claire here BTW!), knows I’m really, really not into PDAs. I think our wedding day will be the first time most of our friends will ever see Mark and I kiss, or even hold hands (and we’ve been together eight years).

I love the idea of having fun, cool, and candid shots of us together in our normal clothes, and capturing a time in our lives that’s so exciting, but the thing is, lots of engagement shoots are, well, a bit cheesey.

Here at Bridal Musings, we’re so lucky to feature some of the most unique, chic, and creative engagement shoots on the planet, but, as with boudoir shoots, engagement sessions can be tough to get right.

Most photographers will have an arsenal of perfect poses up their sleeves, but for some couples, the shots turn out as a series of intense stares, awkward kisses and unflattering hugging snaps.

It’s okay to be loved-up and clichéd (you’re getting married!) but you’re not going to want to put a snap of you making out, on your save the dates!

So to ensure your shoot is relaxed, romantic and totally gorgeous, pin a few of these sweet pics to have in your bag before you get in front of the camera…
